Summary
In today’s WTH Extra! episode, Dany and Marc discuss Marc’s latest Washington Post column, Two data points explain why voters hate the Biden-Harris economy.

During the Biden-Harris administration, Americans’ household savings have plummeted while personal debt levels have skyrocketed to the highest levels ever recorded. Yet instead of learning from her mistakes, Harris’s recent economic proposals double down on the policies that unleashed the very inflation Americans are struggling with today.

| 0:39.1 | Where the hell I am is in the city of Chicago with the Democratic National Convention. And can I tell you, we are not in Milwaukee anymore. Let me tell you. |
| 0:50.1 | I can only imagine. We were just talking off air before we started. |
| 0:55.2 | Planned Parenthood is here with a mobile abortion clinic, and they are offering on-site abortions |
| 1:01.2 | for free to all DNC participants and vasectomies as well. |
| 1:06.2 | In case you are of that side of the confused gender scale that they follow here. |
